4 BIC SALE.

THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS AN ACRE.
 The Wichita (Kansas) Daily Eagle of April 10th, says:
 We have often said in answer to the fool criticism of outside parties that there is nothing here to build city, that Wichita people had sold enough land at from one thousand to one hun dred thousand dollars an acre, which originally cost them but one dollar and quarter an acre to build city within themselves. We know of no more strk ing illustration of this fact than sale made by Hen Robert B. Lawrence, yes- terday, who sold through Stiles and Smith sixty-nine acres of his original homestead for three thousand dollars per acre. For this land he paid one dollar and 8 quarter per acre or $76, for which he received yesterday two hundred and seven thousand dollars. The land lies between the Garfield Uni versity and the city proper, and is prob ably the biggest sale ever made in the state. MT l.. reserves fifteen acres about his home in the center of which he will erect a splendid home, the grounds about which will be ornamented and cultivated in the highest style of land scape art.
 The same issue of the Eagle contains the following under the heading, ''How We Build Wichita
 Schweiter, Lawrence ct al, the pro- phesies of everybody to the contrary notwithstanding, secured the George Salisbury property and now on that cor l ner will be erected the finest business house in Kansas if not in the vest The | corner lot is the one the sale of which was quoted all over the country. The naked lot stands the purchasers about thre thousand dollars per front foot and | the building to be erected on it will be | either five or six stories high. And thus we build our city.
 Robert E. Lawrence is a native o1 Canaan, Conn. Years ago his father, Henry Lawrence, lived on the Dr Smith farm in Canaan. and at that time Robert attended the district school in Canaan, at which time Hobart W. Watson, now auditor of the Housatonic road and s. 0. Beckley, the present editor of the NEWS, were his schoolmates. Robert is a cousin of said Watson and Mrs Mary W. | Ward of Lakeville, Conn. The sale ot 1 69 acres, mentioned by the Eagle, was the last of GOO acres that he owned Al first he sold some of the land at $500 per acre, then later sold more at $l00( per acre and the remainder at $300O pel acre. His old acquaintances in Canaan will unite with the NEWS in congratula. ting him on his prosperity.

 Some in the vicinity of Falls Will age are quite anxious to resurrect the defunct Union agricultural society. Henry Belden, of Falls Village, writes us urging us to consult our best men and identify them with the project. He also wishes us to call meeting of those interested to be held next week at Falls Village. We have found time to interview only a few farmers in this town and we admit they talk very discouragingly. They say that institu' tion was managed by "ring" and the whole exhibition degenerated into 'hoss trot." The best way to ascer tain the present interest in the new project and get an expression of views on the subject and arrive at some definite conclusion in regard to future exhibitions is to call a meeting for that purpose. Complying with MT Belden's wishes we would state that all who are interested in resurrecting the Unior agricultural society are requested te meet at the Falls Village savings bank | on Thursday, April 2s, ct 10 a.
